Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Kat, I meant to ask you -- did DonorsChoose ask you to vote for them in the Members Project, as a recipient teacher? I'm curious because I didn't get anything from them as a donor, but obviously they are kicking ass so far.

Jesse, yep! I assume so. I've been both a donor and a teacher, so it's hard to tell. I need to do another grant for teh rest of the books I need.

I glanced at the comments, and they seemed to be from teachers, so that's how I figure it. We are all obsessed with this in my office.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dear H&M, I think you should do a special collection designed by Vivenne Westwood.

I want a tricorn hat. Not a tiny one, mind you. A *manly* one. But I still want a tricorn hat.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

You know, when I was in college and anything got all saggy through the crotch, we referred to it as webbed knees. So now it's high fashion?

Gah. Days off are supposed to be fun.

Instead I've gone to a work-related meeting, and discovered that it would cost me more to repair my dryer than to replace it. Except I'm supposed to be an environmentalist, so I should probably repair it. And use the clothes line I finally strung in the back alley.

Bah.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mmm, pie. I have nothing else, sorry (I am rather sleepy)

Come up to San Francisco sometime before Christmas and get one at the Dickens Fair. If you come up some November weekend before Thanksgiving you can crash the workshops and get one at close to wholesale.

(I suppose I could offer to do it myself and send it to you, but that would entail no Sean in San Francisco, and what fun is that? Come north! Come north!)
